		<description><![CDATA[China Architectural Engineering Inc. (CAEI) reported net loss of $3.5 million or loss per share of 6 cents for its fiscal first quarter ended March 31. Results were disappointing, considering the net income of $943,611 million or 2 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Decreases in contract revenue, higher raw material costs and administrative costs led to the loss in the quarter. Revenue dipped 68% to $11.5 million from the year-ago period. The decline in revenue resulted as most of China Architectural’s major international projects were completed in 2009. Further aggravating the decline was the fact that the company abstained from commencing other international projects in the quarter, given its plans to concentrate more in the domestic market. Gross margin plunged 220 basis points to 20.3% from the year-earlier ]]></description>
